Holy effffffffffffffffffffff I nearly got followed home by some random today D: D: WHY DO I KEEP HAVING WEIRD TRAIN EXPERIENCES.
Well today I was at Usyd until around 6, studying stupid stats (SEE STATS IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL.) and being the nervous person I am I decided I’d rather take a bus to Central than walk to Redfern in the dark, thinking it would be safer -ahem-, and my friend who lives on campus decided to accompany me to Central, so all good. Get off the bus, part ways as he goes off to get dinner, I go alone to the station the above-ground way through the countrylink area thing. As I’m walking there, this random abo guy who looks like he’s had this nose sewn down in the middle and is walking next to me starts talking, saying something indistinct, and at first I didn’t realise he was talking to me. Then I looked around and realised he could only be talking to me so I asked him what he said and he said, “Getting off work?”, and I was like “nah, just finished uni.” I thought he was just trying to be friendly, and he asked me what uni I went to, and I said Usyd, and then he asked me where I lived.
..
I was like ………… what the. D: So I said vaguely, “oh the _____ area, so like, faaar far away hehehe..” -glance nervously around hoping to see someone I knew- So I asked him, “how about you?” And he said, “Oh, same as you !” SO yes, at this point I got a little.. ngghh.. and I tried to slow down a little and hope that he’d just walk away, but no, he stopped and waited for me. D: And kept talking to me, asking me things like, how long it took to get home and stuff. I don’t know if this was smart but I decided I’d keep replying (with vague/fake things ofc, and mainly nods and smiles D:) ‘cause I was scared he was INSANE and would try to do something if I ignored him and stuff. and then he was like, “Oh so what platform are you going to?” HOLY CRAP HOLY CRAP HOLY CRAP. HOKAY GO AWAY. So I said “Oh, I really don’t know, I just look at the screen and go wherever the next train I can take comes.. …. how about you?” I was full hoping that he’d say some platform number and so I could be like, ‘oh sorry I don’t go to that platform BYE.’ But yeah, no such luck. He said “Oh the same one as you! because we live so close!” AAAAAAHHHHH. HELPME.
So I start thinking of escape routes, maybe if I look at ppl with a panicked look? I doubt anyone would actually stop, and if they did, what could they do? Go to the toilet? but then I’d be blocked in; OH MY GOSH I should’ve thought of going to a train guard person! but oh well I took the stairs down to the eddy ave exit, and then said, “Oh actually I’m meeting a friend here, so, I’m gonna go out now, it was nice talking to you!” and then I zoomed out the ticket barrier and glanced back and he was taking out his ticket too!!! So I bolted across to the stairs that lead back up to the interstate trains, looked back and made sure he couldn’t see me anymore and ran up the stairs.
So yes, I decided I’d take the tunnel way down to my platform instead of the stairs that time. geeeeeezzzz. I never thought I’d miss my sister (she’s on DoE) but I really need a hug :( and I definitely can’t tell my parents about this or else I don’t think I’d even be able to go to uni anymore ahaha xD
Did I do the right thing talking back to him? I wasn’t being overly paranoid thinking he wanted to come home with me was I?! thinking about it still. gah. well. that was freaky.
I hate stats.
